ECUA Facility Finds Northview Football Championship Ring In 165 Tons Of Recyclables
December 16, 2016
Finding a needle in a haystack might be easier.
But a very observant employee at ECUA’s Interim Materials Recycling Facility at the Perdido Landfill found a 2012 Northview High School state championship ring Thursday. The employee spotted the ring mixed in with 165 tons of recyclables.
The facility called the school, and a school official picked it up. The ring was engraved with the owner’s name, and it will be be returned to them.
The employee that found the ring, who works for an ECUA subcontractor, nor the football play have been publicly named.
